SAGE Overview

SAGE – the System to Administer Grants Electronically – is the web-based system used by faculty, researchers, administrators and staff to:

Submit funding applications for consideration

Route them electronically for approval

Request advance budget numbers

Initiate subawards

The core SAGE system allows you to carry out several tasks, including budget development, creating an eGC1, using Grant Runner to complete SF424 R&R forms for NIH opportunities, reviewing and approving applications, and submitting a request for a budget advance.

eGC1s are the electronic Grants and Contracts forms you use to route your grant proposal through the University’s internal compliance process.

A Grant Runner application combines the eGC1 and sponsor forms for some NIH funding opportunities requiring SF424 R&R forms, including Modular, Detailed and Subaward Budgets. With the click of a button, OSP can electronically submit your application via Grants.gov to the sponsor.
